When does the transfer window close in January 2020?

Takumi Minamino was one of the first new faces in the Premier League when he joined Liverpool from Salzburg.

Here, we take a look at the transfer rules which govern each league in the winter window.

Clubs are still able to sign players as free agents after the deadline, as long as they are not officially attached to any club when the window closes, which is Jan. 31 in most leagues.

Premier League transfer deadline

The Premier League led the way in Europe last season in bringing forward the transfer deadline to before the first match of the season, but it matches its continental cousins when it comes to the January window.

The deadline is the same for Championship clubs, should they be looking to bring players in on loan from the Premier League.

The Premier League will decide when its summer window will close at its upcoming stakeholders meeting, on Feb. 6. It has been suggested that the window will only close for domestic transfers before the season begins, with clubs able to buy from other countries (as well as sell) through to Aug. 31.

La Liga transfer deadline

The window will close at 11 p.m. GMT / 6 p.m. ET on Friday, Jan. 31.

Serie A transfer deadline

Last season, Italy was also due to have a truncated winter window, closing on Jan. 18, but a few weeks before clubs voted to return it to a month-long window.

The January window will close at 7 p.m. GMT / 2 p.m. ET on Jan. 31.

Bundesliga transfer deadline

German clubs have set their transfer window at 5 p.m. GMT / midday ET on Friday, Jan. 31.
